Title: Should Vanessa's Official Street Team change their name?
Post by: Will on August 11, 2004, 05:50:41 pm: I'm sure most of you got the street team e-mail where they joyfully tell us that they stole our name. What do you think they should do?

If it's a big problem though (which I don't see how it could be) they could at least tell about the real Nessaholics and point in this direction or something that wouldn't leave NH.com out of the picture

Ooo. I agree with that. Make them link us. Then they can use the name all they like.

On second thought, that might make us and them indistinguishable and everything they do will reflect on us (including all the lame terms like harmonicrew :-\ lol). Yeah, they should change the name.

Well, I think they should be free to use it.... WITH DUE CREDIT back to NH.com.

Post by: eclv on August 12, 2004, 08:15:01 am: I think Harmonium crew would be better since the street team thing is so temporary. Just look at what the one did last year.

NESSAholics is for die hard, totally dedicated no new album or new album. I like what Zena or was it Rosie who said in another thread how we are a little family. A lot of people join street teams just for the free stuff and sell it on ebay or what not.

I don't think, well I hope they didn't anyway, use the name to offend us. I think they just know that Vanessa fans call themseleves NESSAholics so they went with it. None the less it was very upsetting that they wouldn't use us, well I guess they kinda did, but utilize us the way we want to help.

exactally..

i just dont see why they should change it.
i mean, what the heck would they change it to????
can anyone think of anything better????

since when do we legaly own the name anyway?
[i dont see how owning a website automatically means you own a word too.]
they dont own it either.
its just a name to call 'Vanessa Carlton fans' that they're using. as anyone would use
they're trying to make the name more popular.
good for them. yay. :)

i think they're just saying that if you join this online team, you're a nessaholic, meaning a special vanessa carlton fan. and its true. you get all this extra junk.[eventually]
and stuff a normal fan wouldnt get.

i just really think that they dont mean to take the name for their own.
